Ok, so let us go over a few basic things...

1) If you see anything that looks like my guide somewhere else, and you think it was stolen without my permission, please let me know. Thanks.2) As of currently, I am not allowing any other sites besides GameFAQs to host

my guides. IGN being a possible exception from time to time, but otherwise, I'm afraid I must decline your offers under most circumstances. You are, of course, still free to try. Who knows? Also, under the odds that you are granted permission, please check regularly the following link for updates. http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/8373.html Sites that have free permission to host my guides are: + GameFAQs.com (Remember kids, GameSpot is sort of an affiliate of GFAQs.com, so they link directly, and thus, they are ok with me) + IGN.com (Though they are from time to time) + NeoSeeker.com

3) If sending an inquiry about this game, be sure to put, at the very least, "Persona 3 Portable" in the title, just to help me sort my mail. Otherwise,

it might get lost and you get no answer. Do note however, I have the right to answer you or not. That is, obvious questions or information you could easily reach in here might not be answered. I normally still answer almost every mail (Yeah, I'm a good person), though that's not 100% of all cases. Also, I know my English isn't perfect but at least I tried when writing

this, please do the same when you mail in a question. My mail is at the top and bottom of this file.4) Needless to say, this guide is copyrighted according to the DMCA and stuff. So, please don't steal anything (If you want to use something, a bit of

information or whatever, go ahead, but give proper credit where due). Just don't take the whole thing.

5) Mails thanking me for the help and whatnot are always appreciated. ^^ (Honestly, they alone are enough to make me keep going sometimes) Feel free to write in English or Spanish, whichever you prefer. ;p Technically, I can understand written French, but don't expect an answer in French.

_______________________________________________________________________________[000]--------------------00. ToDo, Updates & Forewords-------------------------

To Do:- Finish the Persona Compendium.- Complete de Item Collection.- Finish Vision Quest. Monad. All that stuff.- Anything else I didn't log here.

Updates:- Version 0.70 - Filesize: 366,286 (356 KBs) Date: August 12, 2010 Finished walkthrough. Added the Special Fusion Combination to aid in getting those tricky Personas easier.

Sorry for the long wait. Got a bit busy.- Version 0.50 - Filesize: 293,057 (286 KBs) Date: July 29, 2010 I have this thing for updating past midnight for whatever reason. Anyway, walkthrough almost done. Just half of January left. Most SLs are done, Empress and Aeon are the only ones that aren't. I have about 70% of the enemies of Tartarus down (not counting Monad),

but waiting on that, not added yet. Haven't done much for the item/persona collection. Included some other random sections here and there.


4/165

- Version 0.15 - Filesize: 145,259 Bytes (141 KBs) Date: July 23, 2010 Started. Walkthrough up to July 6, have a good chunk of SL down. Not much else included in the file yet.

Forewords:Not much. I was slightly surprised when I saw the NA announcement, but hey.Since I had never played P3 before (just recently became a fan of SMT), itworked perfect for me. =3

_______________________________________________________________________________-----------------------------01. Game Introduction-----------------------------

_______________________________________________________________________________[011]--------------------------01.01. Characters-------------------------------This section might be considered spoilers, since it shows the charactersthat join you and their Persona, along with skills and other tidbits.

An 'X' at the end of a skill name (in the line) means that that skill will bepart of the final 8 the character will have.

Yukari Takeba [Lovers]

Her weapon is a Bow. And thus, her attacks are of the Pierce type.Going by the Lovers standard, she's focused more on healing and keeping youin shape rather than direct damage.Her Persona is Io, which later awakens into Isis.Io Isis

Junpei Iori [Magician]His weapon is the Two-Handed Sword. So you have someone else with theSlash attribute. He may not necessarily excel at something, but he cancover multiple grounds, somewhat. He's the strongest in terms of raw,physical power.


5/165

His Persona is Hermes, which later awakens into Trismegistus.

Akihiko Sanada [Emperor]Akihiko uses his own fists to STRIKE the enemy. Get it?Fine... His persona is focused on debuffing the enemy, and hitting itwith a bit of electricity for good measure.His Persona is Polydeuces, which later awakens into Caesar.

| 38 | Diarama | | 41 | Mazionga |

Mitsuru Kirijo [Empress]Mitsuru uses a Rapier to do... Slash attacks. Interesting.I mean, you see her pierce the enemy but the game says Slash.


6/165

She has a combination of Ice magic, some healing, and status effectmagic. She is more along the lines of a backup healer with the abilityto enfeeble the enemy a bit, I'd say. She has the highest Magic abilityof all, bar the FeMC anyway.She has one more skill, sort of. Analyze is only available while shesupports you from outside battle. Once Fuuka replaces her, this is gone.Her Persona is Pethesilea, which later awakens into Artemisia.

Fuuka Yamagishi [Priestess]Fuuka doesn't do any fighting. She'll replace Mitsuru eventually as the

support of your party.She can also change the BGM while you are exploring Tartarus.One very useful skill is her Escape Route, which allows you to return tothe Lobby of Tartarus whenever.Her Persona is Lucia, which later awakens into Juno.

Aigis [Chariot]


7/165

Aigis is better described as a robot. Because, she is.Her attacks are of the Pierce type, firing with her cannon and what not.She's specially good at buffing your party all across the board. She alsohas strong attacks and can cure anyone if need be.Her Persona is Palladion, which later awakens into Athena.Palladion Athena

Koromaru [Strength]Koromaru was the guardian dog of the former priest at the Shrine.He attacks by wielding a short sword (or other similar weapons) with hismuzzle, resulting in Slash attacks.His selling point are his Mudo skills, among other. He is generally

considered to be among the weakest characters, though.

His Persona is Cerberus. He doesn't awaken to any other Personas.

Ken Amada [Justice]Ken is the youngest member of SEES. He wields a large spear as if it werechild's play (no pun intended). Even though he kicks the enemy, his attackscount as Pierce. I suppose he kicks with the tip. *shrugs*He focuses on Pierce attacks, a bit of Electricity, but can also replaceYukari if you need a dedicated healer.His Persona is Nemesis, which later awakens into Kala-Nemi.

Shinjiro Aragaki [Hierophant]

Shinjiro is an old friend of Akihiko.He carries a heavy axe, which he wields as if it were made of paper with onehand. His strength at dropping it on the enemy earn his attacks the Striketype.Just... don't get attached to him.His Persona is Castor. He doesn't awaken to any other Personas.

_______________________________________________________________________________[012]---------------------------01.02. Controls--------------------------------In an itself, the controls are pretty straight-forward in this game.

D-Pad..............Move the cursor across the screen. Highlight another item in the menu/shop/options/etc.Analog Stick.......Move the cursor across the screen (only during point-and- click navigation)

X Button...........ConfirmCircle Button......Cancel Inside Tartarus, resets the camera to behind youTriangle Button....Open the menu outside battle and conversations During battle, activates Rush Mode During conversations, skips forward all the textSquare Button......Used for commands in Tartarus

In the point-and-click situations, this brings up aquick-travel map.L Trigger..........Rotates the camera clock-wise inside Tartarus Used to analyze an enemy in battleR Trigger..........Rotates the camera counter-clock-wise inside Tartarus During point-and-click situations, press it once to show all the interaction icons. Again to disable them.

Start Button.......Shows you the current floor's map inside TartarusSelect Button......No use

Most buttons also have extra options that are menu-sensitive. These are alwaysdisplayed at the bottom of the screen however.

_______________________________________________________________________________[013]-------------------------01.03. Battle System-----------------------------Unlike previous Persona, the main difference here probably is that you can'ttalk with the enemies.In fact, the enemies have absolutely nothing to do with Personas anyway, soyou wouldn't get much out of it...

So WHAT options do we actually have available in combat?- Attack: Self-explanatory. The actual attack type (Slash, Strike or Pierce)

depends on the character.- Skill: The skills available to you deppend on your active Persona. Your allies can't really switch Personas, so get used to their skillset. Also, some magical skills will consume SP, but physical strikes take HP, so keep an eye on your reservers.- Item: Again, simple. Look through your items, use the one you want.- Tactics: This is used to change how your companions behave. You can set them to a predetermine AI, or if you'd rather give them direct commands, you can do so now.- Persona: Available to the MC only. You can use this to switch Personas. But


10/165

you can only do so once per round. Meaning, if you switch Personas, you have to wait until the MC's next turn before you can switch again.

Gaining an extra turn due to 1 More doesn't count.- Defense: A new addition to P3. You can actually defend this time. If you know an enemy is charging for a huge attack, defense is a nice choice.- Escape: Attempt to run from battle; earns you nothing, of course.

There are a few other important details to the Battle System of P3 though.

You will notice the Triangle Button alongside the words Rush. This is merelyan auto-attack option. If you set it on, every character will use theirnormal attack, in a sped-up manner. Useful for low level encounters, as thisis generally not a good strategy on the upper echelons of Tartarus.

1 MoreThe tactic you have to take advantage of the most, is the '1 More' attack.Everytime you either critically hit an enemy, or hit 'em with their weakness,the character that did so will get one more attack. And this can go on for asmany enemies are there.Whenever you do this as well, the enemy will fall down. If you critically hitthem again or hit them with their weakness again, they will only become dizzy

(on most occasions), but you won't get another '1 More'.

If they stand up, however, they are fair game again.

All-Out AttackSo, what happens when all enemies are knocked down? You are able to initiatean All-Out Attack SO LONG AS the main character is able to properly act.Meaning, if you are charmed, knocked down, etc., you can't startanAll-Out Attack.

This attack deals substantial damage to all enemies, but resets their

condition. Meaning, if they were dizzy or knocked down, they'll be up againafter this attack if they remained alive. This is also the primary way toobtain a Shuffle Time post-battle. So always try to go for All-Out Attacks.

All-Out Attacks are not of any particular kind of attack; therefore, anyenemy being strong against (or even nullifying) Strike, Slash or Pierce willtake full damage anyway. Go crazy!

Follow-Up / Co-Op AttacksAfter you reach a certain rank of the Fool SLink, sometimes a companion willsuggest a duo attack instead of you doing a '1 More'. This only happens for

the MC, however, so pay attention.

These attacks are useful in that they always result in a critical hit. Youwon't get a '1 More' out of this, but 90% of the time, they target an enemythat isn't knocked down. So if there's only one enemy remaining up before youcan get an All-Out Attack, go for it. You can save yourself some SP or HPfrom whatever skill you were going to use.

Analyzing


11/165

A very important thing you should always do, is analyzing enemies.During battle, hit the L button (you can also access this from the Tacticsmenu, but seriously...).Then select an enemy. Your current battle supporter will attempt to analyzethe enemy after roughly 2~3 turns, giving you their weaknesses and resistances.

Further along the game, you will also even be able to witness the skills theyhave available. Always, ALWAYS do this for pretty much every enemy, asknowing their weaknesses is the key to a quick, painless battle with ShuffleTime, or a near-death experience, especially in high difficulties where theenemies don't kid around.You won't get much out of a boss, but it's useful to do so nonetheless forwhen Fuuka gets Third Eye.

Shuffle TimeThis is just a quick note, for more details go to its own section.There are 3 ways to earn a Shuffle Time after battle.

1. If they MC deals a finishing blow (by any means, crit/weakness or not).2. If you win with an All-Out Attack.3. If you defeat 2 or more enemies with a '1 More' during one turn.

The third one is a bit tricky to understand. If you kill one enemy with acrit/weakness and get '1 More', you gotta kill another enemy and get ANOTHER'1 More', then just kill another enemy.It's not that you would have triggered the '1 More' with the attack or not,

Shuffle Time, however, will NOT trigger against bosses (ANY), or The Reaperinside Tartarus.

_______________________________________________________________________________[014]------------------01.04. Changes from P3 and P3 FES-----------------------This isn't quite a direct port. Read on for the changes.

List taken from stickied topic in the boards.www.gamefaqs.com/boards/971508-shin-megami-tensei-persona-3-portable/55515076

- You can choose the gender of the main character. Some story details change a bit, and of course, there are differente relationships. This guide is focused to the FeMC (Female Main Character), actually. For the male character, you can use any guide for FES.- Graphics have been changed. The game now behaves more like a visual novel outside of Tartarus.- Similarly, as opposed to going around, exploration outside of Tartarus is more of a point-and-click style.- More difficulty settings!- New costumes.

- New Personas. Like 20 or more.- Several battle elements from P4 have been included. First and foremost, you can directly control your teammates if you wish. They can also take mortal blows for you and the All-Out Attack has been included.- Skill Cards can be used to bestow a skill to any given Persona.- Fusion Skills are now used with items obtained by trading in gems.- A few SLinks have voices.- You can cure the Tired status with items. And, more importantly, you now only get Tired AFTER leaving Tartarus, not while exploring. So you can do all your Tartarus fun in one go.


12/165

- You now have to pay to get cured inside Tartarus. What? Not everything can be free.- Time doesn't pass when you enter your room.- You can work part-time in some places for a bit of money and stat increases.- Persona 4 cameos!- New boss rush mode called Vision Quest.- No "The Answer".- No anime cutscenes. They were either redone for the visual novel style, or with in-game graphics.- New menu designs.- People will now get lost inside Tartarus, so you have to rescue them. These aren't explicit Requests from Elizabeth/Theodore, but give you some rewards nonetheless.- Special additions during a New Game+.- As FeMC, you can decide to stay friends or be lovers with someone.

For more information on that stat increases of any given location, please lookat the section right below this one, "Personal Stats".

Gekkoukan HighschoolMany Social Links start here, even though they are actually people from theDorm. There are still a few other SLinks here, among with several requestsand the fact that, well, you go here 6 days a week generally speaking...The School specific SLinks are Chariot, Hermit, and Emperor.

- Bulletin Board: After a certain date, you'll find details of the missing persons here. Not really important, since the Velvet Room attendant always notifies you when someone gets lost.- Back Alley: Leads to the Velvet Room.

Port Island StationThe Port Island Station probably won't be your most visited location, sinceno SLinks happen here. At most, you'll come to the movies, or for the randomRequest taking place here.

- Screen Shot: Different movies are shown here, you can check the program to see which of your stats will increase. Costs 1,500yen to enter.- Restroom: Used for a Request.- The Vending Machine here sells Starvicks, Cylon Tea, and Aguafeena.At the Staion Outskirts you can find a cat you need for a Request.- Mahjong Club "Red Hawk": Needed for a Request, nothing else you can do.- Que Sera Sera: Request and storyline events, nothing else.

_______________________________________________________________________________-----------------------------02.03. Day to Day Life----------------------------

_______________________________________________________________________________[231]------------------------02.03.01. 2009: April-----------------------------As you begin the game, you are asked for your gender first. As noted, thisguide is for the Female Main Character (aka FeMC). The general notes mightwork for the Male MC, but I don't take responsibility for odd events...

IMPORTANT!I do not intend to give you a step-by-step. Meaning, I won't tell you "studytonight," "Work on this SLink this evening," etc.That's up to you. I will give mentions about when an SLink becomes available,or stuff like that. Use the previous section to check how to best raises yourstats and the SL sections to see how to do things.

I do make mentions on the generally best times to go to Tartarus. At first,it doesn't matter much. But unless you enjoy doing multiple trips, it matterslater on.


17/165

April 6- For the first day, there's not much. You'll see some scenes, you'll enter this 'Dark Hour' and arrive to your dorm. You'll be asked to sign in with your name; so... write your own name. The firs line is for first name, and the second for your last name, as expected.

You'll end up in your room. For now, you can only go to Bed, so do so.

April 7 - Yukari will wake you up. You'll then go to school.

Check the bulletin board (marked by a red ! if you press R). Select tolook again to find your classroom.

Take the left exit to the 1F Hallway and into the first door, the Faculty Office.

After classes, Junpei will come to greet you before Yukari shows up. You'll automatically go into the Evening and back on the dorm. From now on, you can save at the front desk.

Go ahead and go into your room to advance the day.April 8

- You'll have a lecture today. Junpei will ask you for help. The answer is 'Utsubo Kubota'.

After school you will automatically return to the dorm at Evening. After talking with Ikutsuki, you'll go to bed.

During your sleep, after some events, you will end up in the Velvet Room where Igor will greet you. You'll be given the Velvet Key.April 9 - There will be another lecture today. If you stay awake, you'll get a

small boost to your Academics. ALWAYS USE THESE.

After school, Yukari will take you to the Paulownia Mall. Short talk later, you arrive at the Dorm at Evening. Go back to your room-- you have to manually climb the stairs. The quick travel button won't work tonight. You can only go to bed.

After the events, you'll be given a choice. Either one will work as Yukari will knock on your door. Question her if you like, or go along easily, doesn't matter either.

You'll find yourself in the room, where a Shadow will come. Yukari will try to defeat it, but can't. Her Evoker will slide towards you and you will end up summoning a Persona, which then goes Berserk and destroys the Shadow...

The Persona will calm down, turning into Orpheus-- your first Persona.

Turns out the Shadow wasn't quite done.

You'll fight 2 Cowardly Maya. You can use Orpheus' Bash skill or use normal attacks. They aren't really much a threat.

April 19 - You'll wake up this day. Yukari will be there already. After some talk, the day concludes.


18/165

April 20 - Junpei will greet you at the gate of school During class, the answer to the question is 'Mad huts'.

You'll go back early to the Dorm again.Hit Square and select the 4F, Hallway and into the Command Room.

The Fool Social Link will begin here.

This SL levels up automatically.

A boy will also visit you during the Dark Hour.

April 21 - You'll automatically return to the dorm after some vents. Junpei will now join SEES.

You will come to Tartarus for the first day. Once inside, you will automatically head into the Velvet Room. Igor will ask you about his attendant; you can choose either answer. Appearances will change, but nothing else.

At this point, I suggest, first, that you Save. Then you start climbing. Seeing how this place is a labyrinth, I can't really give you much

help, at all.

You can't do much on this outing. Follow Mitsuru's instructions, defeat all the Shadows, and call it a day. Once you leave the labyrinth, Fool will level up to Rank 2. Go ahead and leave the premises for now.

April 22 - There will be a few events before you are actually in class. There's a lecture today, be sure to stay awake.

After class, you now have time After School. You'll meet up witn Junpei and somewhat, with Akihiko, who suggests you

go to the Police Station in the mall. Go ahead and do so.You'll be buying your weapons/armor here. Their sale day is on

Mondays. Don't forget that if you want a 25% discount!

Afterwards, you are now free to explore. Since no SLinks are available yet, use your time to work on your stats.

Academics is a slow level, but necessary if you want some free items and even for some SLinks. Charm and Courage are way faster, and equally necessary.

Please note the section above this one to see what things you can do to raise each one, especially those that are day-specific. You want to take

advantage of those if you can, or even the double ones such as working part-time.

Once you are back on the dorm, you can go out again if you wish,From now on, you can also talk to Mitsuru if you want to explore the

Tartarus. She won't always be available, but she's generally there. At this point, you can go up to the 16th Floor.

Remember you can also go to the mall at nights for some stat boosts or, later on, some Social Links.


19/165

Or, you can study in your room.April 23 - Junpei will offer you to hang out with him. This starts the Magician SL,

so I suggest you do. You can take advantage of the fact that you have nothing to do at nights to explore Tartarus.

For information on the Guardians you'll face inside Tartarus, look at their section below, "Guardians of Tartarus". Remember, your limit right now is the 16th Floor.

If you did go into Tartarus, try to obtain one of the following Personas to make your life easier with Social Links; Magician, Hierophant,

Chariot and if you wish, even Lovers, but they aren't quite THAT necessary just yet.

April 24 - Today you can join a sports team; be it the Tennis or Volley Ball team. They both function the same, and the decisions for Rank Up events are the same, so don't worry. Pick whichever.

To get to them, from the Classroom hit the Quick Travel button, go to the 1F, Laboratory Hallway. At the top left is the 1F Corridor exit.

On the other side of the corridor is the 1F Hallway. You can find both clubs here.

April 25 - The Bookworms store is open now. You can find it on the Iwatodai Strip Mall. You can start the Hierophant Social Link here. Might as well do so. Use the evenings as you wish. Remember, try to not to go into Tartarus every single freaking time-- save time, do one or two trips at most and then focus on your stats.

April 26 - Free day. Do whatever.

April 27 - You get another quiz in class. The answer is "6,000 years ago". After class, Mitsuru will come and ask you if you want to join the Student Council (Emperor SL). go ahead and accept. First, go to the Faculty Office and ask about the Student Council. Then jump to the 2F Classroom Hallway. On the left side, you can find the Student Council Room, go in to start the Social Link.

April 28 - After school, you can start the Lovers SL by talking to Yukari inside the classroom. Otherwise, employ the day as you wish.

Junpei will mention Innocent Sin Online when you get back to the dorm. You can safely ignore this as the FeMC. It's for the Male MC Hermit's SL.

April 29 - No school today. If you've already established the Magician SL, Junpei will call you today and see if you wanna hang out. These events work towards helping you get the necessary points to a Rank Up event, but you can't Rank Up in these. Several other people can invite you out, but they all depend on if you have the SL going on, AND, some have to be at a certain rank. I will list names during the day they might invite, assuming those


20/165

scenarios are correct. For more information, check the section "Off Day Invitations" for exact dates and Ranks. Employ the day as you wish.

April 30 - Another lecture today. Stay awake!

You might get your first invitation during Lunchtime today. If not, doesn't matter. These are basically friendly reminders from your SL friends-- at least those inside school, that today you can hang with them; and possible raise your SL Rank.

Elizabeth or Theodore will call you after classes, depending on who youchose as your attendant.You'll be asked to go to the Velvet Room. You can find a secondaryentrance in the Paulownia Mall. Right next to the staircases leading to

Mandragora is a back alley.

You are now able to accept requests from her. Some of these have adeadline. PAY ATTENTION TO THESE. I will remind you here about theirdeadlines or whatever condition you have to fulfill, if needed.

All other requests are up to you to fulfill. The rewards are nice at the

level and generally, they open up other requests further along the road.

So it's always in your best interest to do them.

_______________________________________________________________________________[232]-------------------------02.03.02. 2009: May------------------------------

May 1 - You can visit Akihiko today after school. Employ the Evening as you wish.

May 2 - Nothing special during the day. Work on an SLink, or your stats.

Don't forget to ask Yukari for Pine Resin tonight for Request 73! When you go to bed, the Dark Hour will come, and that boy will visit you again to warn you about the Full Moon.

May 3 - Tanaka's Amazing Commodities starts today. Every Sunday, on Daytime, you can turn on your TV to see what they are offering. You can buy these

products and they will arrive on your room in a few days.

Of course, if you go on a date or hang out with a friend, you'll miss this chance.

This week, you can buy a Yawn-B-Gone and 2 Muscle Drinks for 1,980yen.

May 4 - Another free day. Rio will call you today, see if you want to hang out.May 5 - You'll get your items from the TV Shopping program if you ordered them. If possible, Junpei will invite you out today. Before you go to bed tonight, go to the 2nd or 3rd floor, and buy a Mad Bull from the Vending Machines. You'll need it tomorrow.


21/165

May 6 - Another quiz. The answer is "Soft Water" The rumors about the kid playing by herself is actually for the Hanged Man SL.

Before going there, head into Iwatodai and buy some Takoyaki from Octopia on the far right. THEN go to the Shrine. You should see the girl on the left side, by the jungle gym.

May 7 - Remember that some requests expire today! Otherwise, enjoy the day.

May 8 - Today you'll be asked to join either the School health committee, or the Library committee. Both are for the Hermit SL, and like Chariot, contain the same answers, so pick whichever you prefer, doesn't matter much. After school is out, you'll automatically go to where you should.

You'll automatically end up at the Evening. Do what you wish.May 9

- After school is out, you will automatically head back to the Dorm, where the Dark Hour will begin.

You'll begin your operation in the 10th/11th Carriage. Make your way forward.

Eventually, Junpei will rush forward. You'll have two battles in a rowusing the FeMC and Yukari.

You will find Junpei in the 4th carriage fighting some enemies. You'll aid him then.

The train will suddenly start moving. A timer will then appear on screen detailing how much before you crash into another train as you are drawn

into another battle. Move to the front of the train as fast as you can, defeating Shadows that get in your way quickly. At the end, you'll find the Shadow in charge.

_______________Priestess_________________________________________________ | | | Weakness: None | | Repel: Ice | | Null: Light / Dark | | | | She has no real weakness, so just hit her with whatever. | | If she ever summons any Muttering Tiaras, switch to Apsaras or any | | other Persona you might have with a Bufu skill, you want to defeat |

| these quickly before they get a chance to heal Priestess. | | | | As long as you have a decent amount of time, you should be more than | | fine for the fight. | Make your choice after the battle, doesn't matter.

Once it's over, your Fool SL will level up to Rank 3.

May 10


22/165

- Elizabeth/Theodore will call you in the morning to inform you that a path in Tartarus has opened. In other words, you can now climb further up int the 40th floor.

TV Shopping time! This time is 1 Garu and 1 Zio Skill Cards for 2,980yen.

Ok, two things. First, do not climb Tartarus just yet. Wait. I'll let you know, don't worry. Trust me, you want to.

Second, if you go to the Velvet Room, you'll learn about the PersonaConpendium. Personas you get will now be stored here, and you can later

summon them for a price. You can also upgrade the records, if the Persona levels up or you teach it a skill.

This is incredibly useful for when you are working on your Social Links, if you need a matching persona.

Also, more requests are available.

May 11 - Stay awake during class. Remember about Maiko, the girl at the shrine, if you set up the starting

point for the SL. You don't HAVE TO go today, but why wait? If you do wait, well, do whatever.

At Evening, you'll be told something's wrong with the computer at the Command Room. You can go there to watch a small recording. Nothing too important. Employ your night as you see best, but you should try to study, that, or do the Quiz Game in the Arcade on Tuesdays and Saturdays for a better boost.

May 12 - You'll get your TV Shopping items today. As a suggestion, work on your Chariot, Hermit and Hierophant SLs up to level 3, 2 and 2 respectively. When you do so, talk to Saori in the 2F Corridor to learn about a celebrity in the mall (Devil SL). Rio will mention a drunk in the club on the mall (Tower SL). And during the Hierophant Rank Up 3 event, you'll meet Bebe (Temperance SL).

You also need Courage 4 for Tower, Charm 2 for Devil and Academics 2 for Temperance anyway. Just putting it out there for the future.

Midterms are coming, Yukari won't be available for Tartarus tonight,but like I said, keep waiting.Today the Quiz Game is available, if you need to work on your Academics.

May 13 - Quiz time! The answer is "About 1,700 km/hour". Again, employ your time as you see best.

May 14 - Nothing special in the morning.

Be sure to talk to Junpei for the handheld game system for a requestwhile in the Dorm, though.

May 15 - Quiz time! The answer is "Bread." Do note that all school clubs are closed, if you were planning on working on a school SL.

May 16 - Stay awake!


23/165

Past that, up to you. Study though. Really.

May 17 - TV Shopping! All-Purpose Katana + 2 Cadenza for 4,980yen.

Use the day as you see best.

May 18 ~ May 22 - You'll be having one exam after the other, no Evening time. The first day depends on your Academics stat. 2 is good, but 3 is perfect. The answers for the next days are: Bread Faster than sound Hard water Nara

May 23 - You'll get your TV Shopping items here. Again, this day depends on your Academics. 2 is good, 3 is perfect. After school, do as you wish.

Tonight, Akihiko rejoins the group. NOW, you can go into Tartarus if you wish. Since your party can consist of up to 4 party members, you can now bring a full party to explore. See why I told you to wait?

What about Mitsuru's offer? Wait until results are posted. I'll let youknow.

May 24 - Yukari will call, see if you wanna go out. If you say no, then Rio will. Provided you got the SLs, of course. TV Shopping! All-Purpose Apron + 2 Umugi Water for 4,980yen. Enjoy the day.

May 25 - Exam results will be posted today. Depending on your grades, you'll receive a boost to Charm. Stay awake during the lecture.

You can't find Mitsuru today, don't worry. You'll get your reward if you deserve it. As a sidenote, from here on you could, theoretically, start the Star SL. Of course, you need a Charm of 4 to do so. For future reference, it's Akihiko-- you can find him at the top of the 1F, Laboratory Hallway.

Use the rest of the day as you see fit.

May 26 - You'll get your TV Shopping items today. If you did well on your exams, go to the 1F, Faculty Corridor to find Mitsuru. You'll get a Page Card set and if you aced the exams, a Diarama

will be thrown in for good measure.

These cards can be used to increase the stats of one Persona you have. Save them or use them wisely.

Remind you about the Temperance SL. You need Hierophant at Rank 3 and your Academics over 2. No need to start it today, just reminding you. As well as Devil-- you need Hermit Rank 2 and Charm at 2.

Remember to talk to Mitsuru in the Dorm to get the 'triangular sword' for


24/165

the request.

May 27 - Nothing special.

May 28 - Stay awake! Use the day as you wish.

May 29 - Stay awake again. Use the day as you wish.

May 30 - Small scene. Employ the day as you wish.

May 31 -

TV Shopping! Battle Panties + 2 Diet Food for 3,980yen.

_______________________________________________________________________________[233]-------------------------02.03.03. 2009: June-----------------------------

June 1 - If it matters, you'll be switching to Summer uniforms. When you get back to the Dorms, some ghost stories will fly around, and you decide to check up on rumors on school about the whole incident. ...Of course, you can't do anything and just look for the correct answers below. They don't matter much though, but hey, at least it will look like you did something 'sides running behind people or what have you.

You still have the evening to you, so enjoy. Once you go to bed, you'll be visited by the mysterious boy again for another Full Moon warning.

June 2

- Stay awake! Free day.

June 3 - Free day again.

June 4 - Free day.

June 5 - Today, at night, you'll discuss what you learned about the rumors. First, "It was the third time!" Second, "They hung out together!"

Then it doesn't matter what you answer.

Remember request deadlines are up tomorrow. I give you two choices; either go today (if you haven't before) and

tomorrow take advantage of the Quiz Game if you wanna raise your Academics, or just blow Tartarus off until tomorrow.

Your current limit is the 40th floor, where you can find the 2nd Old Document, by the way. Be sure to turn that request in before leaving Tartarus.


25/165

June 6 - At Evening today, you'll go to where you agreed the previous day, regardless of your choice. You'll be back in the Dorm afterwards.

Remember today is the last day of the current requests deadlines.

June 7 - TV Shopping! Auto-Tarukaja + 5 Sappy Jelly for 2,980yen. Otherwise, it's your day. As a recommendation, get a Persona that can use Bufu and Garu. If you can find one with a Pierce-type attack, even better. But that's not necessary. You'll see why...

June 8 - Another Full Moon tonight. You'll watch a small scene during Lunchtime. After a few more scenes, you'll arrive back at Gekkoukan during the Evening.

Go with Yukari when given the choice, and manually make your way to the Faculty Office. When asked about the key, answer "Gym." Automatic scenes, then comes the Dark Hour.

After more scenes, you'll awaken and find that mysterious boy in front of you. You'll then be somewhere in Arqa. Explore around to find the stairs. It's entirely up to you if you want to fight or not-- you'll also see messages from someone else whenever Mitsuru speaks.

Go up another floor to reunite with Junpei and Akihiko. You will also find Fuuka here. More scenes, then battle.

_______________Empress & Emperor_________________________________________ | | | Weakness: Varies | | Strong: Varies |

| | | This is an interesting fight. For one, Fuuka will be assisting you, as | | opposed to Mitsuru, but that's besides the point. | | | | As the battle starts, Empress will be weak to physical strikes, of any | | kind. But nullifies all elements. The contrary is true for Emperor. | | After some damage/rounds, they will use Paradigm Shift, what this does | | is shuffle around their weakness/resistances, so scan them everytime | | they do that and try to hit them with something. | | | | Once they get low on HP, they will be vulnerable to only one type of | | attack however, so Analyze is a must then. | | So, keep analyzing, and exploit said weakness. Try to get both down for |

| an All-Out Attack, which will hit regardless. | That's it for today.

June 9 - The Shinshoudo Antiques store in the Mall will open now. Be sure to check it out. You might not have a great use for it right now, but trust me, it will be very useful later.

Either way, you have free reign over the day.


26/165

June 10 - Stay awake.

Then it's up to you. I suggest you rest or use a Yawn-B-Gone. You don't want to wake up Sick, do you?

June 11 - Do what you want after school. During the Evening, Fuuka will join SEES.

Then you have the Evening to yourself.

June 12 - Nothing special today in the morning. At night, however, the mysterious boy will introduce himself as Pharos. You will also begin the Death SL. This one levels up automatically, just like Fool, so don't worry too much about it.

June 13 - Employ the afternoon as you wish.

At night, you will be told by Elizabeth/Theodore a new path is open in Tartarus-- you can go up to floor 64 now. There are also new Requests

available.

From now, you also have to talk to Fuuka instead of Mitsuru in order to

go to Tartarus. Therefore, Mitsuru can now join you in battle. Youcan only have 4 persons in battle, so you will now have to decide who to bring with you.

You can switch characters around in the entrance of Tartarus. I suggest you wait before going again, you'll see why.

June 14 - TV Shopping! Beast Leggings + 3 Emerald for 4,980yen. Use the day as you wish.

June 15 - Quiz time. The answer is "And..."

If yo have a Courage of at least 2, you can start the Priestess SL by talking to Fuuka in the 2F Classroom Hallway, by the way. Also, if you've seen the Requests, you can easily do the date to Iwatodai and the one for the human model today.

June 16 - You'll get your TV Shopping items.

Use the day as you wish, but remember to talk to Akhiko for the request tonight at the Dorm.

June 17 - Quiz time. The answer is "Shamanism." Use the day as you wish.

June 18 - Elizabeth/Theodore will call you in the morning. After class, you will automatically head to the Velvet Room.

Apparently, someone got lost inside Tartarus who can't use Personas. You have until the next Full Moon to find them. This is why I told you to wait before going to Tartarus. Still, don't go just yet, trust me.


27/165

June 19 - Nothing special today. Junpei is out at night, if you were thinking of going to Tartarus.

June 20 - Mitsuru will mention the Chairman will be coming tonight. Afterwards, you'll see Fuuka playing with Koromaru, a dog from the shrine, outside the Dorm.

You'll go straight into the Evening.

Once the meeting is done, talk to Ikutsuki for the glasses wipe for the request.

June 21 - TV Shopping! Auto-Rakukaja + 2 Muscle Drink for 4,980yen. Enjoy your day.

June 22 - Quiz time! The anser is "Jellyfish." At Evening in the Dorm, you'll be told something about the console in the Command Room again. You can watch another video.

You'll see some scenes during the Dark Hour tonight.

June 23 - Your TV Shopping items should arrive today. Are you working on your Academics? This is a just a reminder, but try to get it to 4 before the end of July (yes, July) and get Hanged Man to

Rank 3 at least.

More events at night.Do as you wish.

June 24 - Do as you wish today.

June 25

- Quiz time. The answer is "Dowsing." Do as you wish next.

June 26 - Another person has strayed into Tartarus it seems. See why I told you to wait? You can use the section about missing persons near the bottom to find the floors and rewards. Use the day as you wish.

June 27 - Free day. Don't forget to talk to Fuuka tonight to get the item for the Request.

June 28 - TV Shopping! Champion Gloves + 3 Mega Protein for 3,980yen. Use the day as you wish.

June 29 - Quiz time. "It can go either way." (Insert bad jokes here) Use the day as you wish. I suggest you focus more on School SLs rather than outside ones for a bit.

Employ the day as you wish, but you might want to work on your Academics for the final exams of the semester.


28/165

Try to aim for 4 or 5 on it.

June 30 - Your TV Shopping items should arrive today. You'll be visited by Pharos at night. Again, Full Moon warning.

_______________________________________________________________________________[234]-------------------------02.03.04. 2009: July-----------------------------

July 1 - Free day, pretty much.

July 2 - Again, it's up to you. Keep studying though!

July 3 - Quiz time! "The Global Heritage Pavillion." Do what you wish afterwards.

July 4 - Do what you wish. Remember, keep studying.

July 5

- TV Shopping! Precious Egg + 2 Yawn-B-Gone for 5,980yen. Remember, today is the last day for Requests.

Also, if you have the Hanged Man SL at Rank 3 and your Academics is at 4 by any chance, be sure to get the Sun SL Flag 2 by talking to the Thin Young Man in Naganaki Shrine. If you don't, don't worry.

Employ the day as you wish.

July 6 - Nothing important today. If you didn't rescue the persons who strayed into Tartarus, today is

your last chance.

July 7 - Full Moon time. You will also get your TV Shopping items today. As usual, you'll head straight back to the dorms after school to

get ready.

For this opperation, I don't particularly recommend Mitsuru, due to her weakness to Fire. Since you have to take Yukari, I suggest Junpei and Akihiko. Once you got your team set, try to exit the room to get moving.

Once you are on site, just move forward and go up the stairs.

On the second floor take either path, at the end are the stairs up. On the third floor, head right and enter the Hierophants's Chamber at the end; Fuuka will warn you about the Shadow inside.

_______________Hierophant________________________________________________ | | | Weakness: None | | Repel: Electricity | | Null: Light / Dark | | |


29/165

| This one is rather easy. Sure, he can use electric attacks and can | | knock out Yukari, but aside from that... | | He might stick a Fear on someone, but use a Patra or Me Patra Gem, | | according to the situation. Easy fight. | Once the battle is done, try to go out of the room... You can't! Do as Fuuka says, look around for a Shadow.

Keen observers might notice you have no reflection on the mirror. Inspect it...

In order to get out of this appropiately, select the following answers as you get to them: "What was I...", followed by "That's not true..." Next, "I can't give in..." and, finally, "Now now..." After some scenes, either Junpei or Akihiko (regardless of who's with you and, possibly dependant on your SL Rank) will appear.

Tell him "It's an enemy trap!"

Once you are out and moving, simply go up a floor to reunite with the rest of your party. Seems you have to take off the odd mirrors in here. Meaning, those that cast no reflection of you. If you hit one wrong, you go back to the first floor.

The mirrors can be found in Rooms 205, this one is just ahead and to your left from where you reunite. Climb up, and go to Room 304-- it's on the far northeast corner of the map. Once these two are broken, you can go back to the Hierophant's Chamber to fight another boss.

_______________Lovers____________________________________________________ | | | Weakness: None | | Null: Light / Dark | | | | This is why I told you not to bring Mitsuru along. This boss can use | | Maragilao, which is bad news for her. Your main problem however, is | | her Marin Karin and Holy Arrow, which can Charm you. |

| Adding to that, she can also Panic you. | | | | Keep items in hand-- remember Yukari also has Patra and Charmdi to | | clear them. Otherwise, attack the boss with whatever you got, there are | | no resistances to worry about. | Your Fool SL will go up to Rank 4 after the events.

July 8 - Quiz time! Answer is "I failed, it's over now." Notice the comma. Do as you wish after school. But remember exams are coming. Remember to rest at night or use a Yawn-B-Gone to clear your tiredness.

July 9 - Quiz time! Answer is "The Konden Einen Shizaihou." Again, do as you wish.

When you get to the Dorms at night, Elizabeth/Theodore will call you to inform that a new path in Tartarus has opened. You can now go up to floor 89. But like last time, wait. More people are going to get lost inside, so might as well get everything down in one go. Basically, wait until around August 3 for best results.


30/165

Also, new Requests are also available. I suggest you go and get the

"Go feed the cat" along with the "Funky school music" one. If you do get the cat one, be sure to get 4 Super Cat Food from the Pharmacy.

July 10 - Quiz time! Answer is "Kabbalah." After class, if you got both requests I mentioned, head into the PA Room to grab the record and go feed the cat before you do something else with your afternoon.

July 11 - Quiz time! Answer is "Imperial Prince." You'll get a text from Akihiko after shcool saying Ikutsuki is coming tonight. You still have free reigns of your afternoon. Go feet the cat! Then do as you wish.

At night you'll get an event. You'll be free to use your night afterwards though.

July 12 - A small sequene of events before you get control.

TV Shopping! Max Safety Shoes + 2 Trickster for 5,980yen. Feed the cat, then do whatever.

At night, Pharos will visit you. The Death SL will go up to Rank 3.

July 13 - Stay awake! Feed the cast for one last time, then do as you wish. Finals start tomorrow.

At night, you'll make plans for summer vacations. Of course, you got finals to worry about first.

July 14 ~ July 17

- Final exams start today, before heading to school, you'll get your TV Shopping items. 1st answer: "Dowsing." 2nd answer: "Octopus." 3rd answer: "Minamoto no Yoritomo." 4th answer: "I went, I learned."July 18 - For the last day of exams, your Academics stat will be put to the test. You want a 5 for best results.

Straight to the Evening we go. Do as you wish.

July 19

- TV Shopping! Shirt of Chilvary + 2 Mega Protein for 6,980yen.

July 20 - Vacations will start today. You can talk to everyone if you want, but in order to get the story going, check the transition point on the left side. Automatic events at Evening.

July 21 - You'll get to witness Junpei's "Operation Babe Hunt" crash and burn, along


31/165

with Akihiko's attempt.Eventually, you'll be back with the FeMC for more odd scenes.

She'll be introduced as Aigis during more events. She also joins SEES. More characters to play around with.

July 22 - The Fool SL will go up to Rank 5. This is a very good level, since from now on, if the FeMC is near death, someone else will take the hit for you.

July 23 - You'll be back at the dorms during the Evening.

July 24 - Aigis will wake you up today.

Regardless of your choice, Aigis will be moved to the 3rd floor. You will also get your TV Shopping items today.

You'll go see your results during Lunchtime. As usual, you'll get a charm boost depending on your grades. If you were also in the top 10, be sure to talk to Mitsuru tomorrow.

Student groups should be back to business, if you want to work on those SLs. Do as you wish, regardless.

July 25 - Stay awake. You will be informed about the fellowship of schools event that will take part next month.

Be sure to talk to Mitsuru if you got good grades today; she's in front of the Faculty Office to get your set of Knight Cards and Matarukaja. Do as you wish, otherwise.

July 26 - TV Shopping! Bead Chain + 3 Amethyst for 5,980yen. Is your Hanged Man at Rank 3 and your Academics at 4? If so, be sure to

talk to the Think Young Guy in the bench on the west side of Naganaki Shrine today. You won't be able to do this next Sunday. And the one

after is best reserved to actually starting this SL.Then do as you wish.

July 27 - Today you will start with the intensive training for the sports club you are in. This will take up the Daytime slot of all days from here to

August 2nd.You got the Evenings to yourself, still.

July 28 - You'll get your TV Shopping. More training. Employ the night as you prefer.

July 29 - Same. At night you will be woken up in the Dark Hour by Fuuka. Apparently a

Shadow is outside of Tartarus ahead of time. You'll go the NaganakiShrine.

Seems Koromaru defeated the Shadow, but was injured in the process. ;o;

July 30


32/165

- More training. Another Dark Hour period... Pharos will come up, as usual, to warn you about the Full Moon. You'd think he'd know by now that we are used to this whole Full Moon business by now...

July 31 - Even more training. You should be getting free points towards Chariot for this...

_______________________________________________________________________________[235]------------------------02.03.05. 2009: August----------------------------August 1 - Guess what?! No more training. Now you are going to the actual event. Enjoy the events.

Of course, since today is Sunday, you can't buy anything this time.

August 2 - You'll be going back today.

By Evening, you should be home. Use the night as you prefer, but don't go to Tartarus just yet.

August 3

- Elizabeth will call you to inform 2 persons have strayed into Tartarus. This is what we were waiting for.

Also, during this period of vacations you can now get invites to goign out at any day. So you might get random calls in the morning to go out.

Today is the night you want to go to Tartarus.

August 4 - Holidays continue.

Do as you wish.

August 5

- Holidays continue. Do what you wish. Tomorrow is the next Full Moon.

August 6 - You will automatically go into the Dark Hour. After some scenes, you will be locked 13 meters underground.

Pick your party, and move. I don't really recommend anyone over someone else, but at least bring Mitsuru or Yukari for healing. Yukari should have Media, but Mitsuru has Diarama, so it's up to you. If you don't have any area skills (physical or magical), then bring someone that does, they are useful, but not required.

Keep going forward. You might run into the odd Shadow here, but just deal with it accordingly.

_______________Justice & Chariot_________________________________________ | | | Weakness: None | | Null: Light / Dark | | | | This is new. At first, you'll be fighting one single enemy. Keep | | hitting it however, and it will split into two. |


33/165

| Eventually, they will recombine. In a sense, they keep the same HP, | | sort of. If they split while having half HP, both will have half HP. | | Etc. | | | | Things to worry about: Kill Rush, Poison Mist, Tentarafoo. | | Separated, Chariot will use Power Charge, as standard and then strike. | | Justice tends to use Twin Shot and Torrent Shot, both of which are | | multi-hit, so keep your HP up. | | | | As to how to properly defeat them... You have to beat them while they | | are split, during the same turn. If you kill one, and the other one | | gets its turn, it will revive the other one using Samarecarm, fully | | restoring the other! | | | | If you happen to defeat them while combined, they will split. With | | both parts having 1 HP. | | So remember, beat them on the same turn. Doesn't have to be the same | | attack, just as long as the one alive doesn't get its turn. |

August 7 - Holidays. At night, Pharos will visit you, as usual. Your Death SL will go up to Rank 5.

August 8 - At morning, Elizabeth/Theodore will call you to inform about a change in Tartarus. You can go up to Floor 114. Of course, new Requests are also available. Furthermore, as usual, I suggest you wait at least until the 29th before going in.

Mitsuru will come in the morning to talk to you, saying something about tonight.

Do as you wish during the day.At Night, it seems Koromaru has finished healing. Not only that, he is

joining SEES!

Ok, so... Did you listen to me about the whole Hanged Man at Rank 3 and your Academics at 4? If you talked to the Thin Young Guy on Sundays at Naganaki Shrine, be sure to talk to Koromaru tonight. Check under his paw to find the Red Fountain Pen.

Enjoy the night.

August 9 - TV Shopping! Spirit Drain + 4 Health Supplement for 4,980yen. Several things to do.

First, go pick up Requests 28 and 58. Go out with Elizabeth/Theodore to get 58 done. Then head to Port Island Station, into the west side and

try to go into Que Sera Sera to get the drink. Turn them in.

You should be able to star the Sun SL today. If not, well... I suggest you don't delay too much on it.

August 10 ~ August 14 - On these days, you will be going to Summer School. You can't do anything else. You'll get a boost to Academics per day though.August 15


34/165

Today you can start the Strength SL with Koromaru if you have the Dog Food you make by going through with the Priestess SL.

August 16 - Today is the Summer Festival at Naganaki Shrine. Junpei, Yukari, Fuuka, Mitsuru and Akihiko will ask you out, one by one. Go with whoever you prefer.

That's it for today.

August 17 - Free day.

August 18 - The Film Festival begins today. People might call you to invite you see a film, or in some days, you can invite someone. All of these films will increase a particular stat. Use them to your advantage.

Today, Rio will invite you. This one is for Courage. On that note, I suggest working on your Courage. You want to try and have 6 on it by September 1.

August 31 - For the last day of the month, you can invite Ken. This is for Courage. Regardless, another Junpei event.

_______________________________________________________________________________[236]----------------------02.03.06. 2009: September---------------------------

September 1 - Your TV Shopping items arrive today. And for a good start... Quiz time! "Superconductivity" is the answer. Also, new music.

Since we are back in school, student group SLs resume as well. If youhaven't done that Request where you have to get the medicine, be sure to

take advantage of the fact that we are back in school.I suggest going tomorrow though.

Apparently, Aigis is going to school now.Also, if your Courage is at 6 already, you can star the Justice SL

at Evening by talking to Ken.

September 2 - After school, Akihiko will ask you to accompany him. Apparently, he wanted to talk Shinjiro into joining SEES, which, by the way, he does.

I suggest going tonight to Tartarus. Sidenote, I don't suggest you use Shinjiro that much... Trust me.

September 4 - If you haven't gone to Tartarus, well... I don't know why you haven't.

September 5 - Full Moon! As usual, directly from school into the Evening for a scene, then into the Dark Hour.

You'll arrive at the Paulownia Mall. After more scenes, assemble your party. I do not recommend Yukari nor Aigis, as the next boss uses


36/165

electric skills.

So bring whoever else you prefer. I still don't recommend you use Shinjiro too much, but go ahead if you want. I suggest Akihiko, at the very least.

Whenever you are set, go into Club Escapade.

_______________Hermit____________________________________________________ | | | Weakness: None | | Drain: Electricity | | Null: Light / Dark | | | | This fight is relatively easy, in comparison. | | Hermit basically does this: Uses Charge, waits two turns doing nothing, | | then releases Giga Spark. | | | | Giga Spark can actually hurt, which is why we brought Akihiko. | | You can use Tarunda to make it hit weaker, and if you got a Persona | | with Marakukaja, use it as well. | | | | Basically, hit the boss with whatever you have, then heal up after | | Giga Spark. You shouldn't really have much trouble at all with this |

| fight. He should be dead by the second Giga Spark, if not by the | | first, even. | Watch some more scenes, and it's over for tonight.

September 6 - Automatic scene at the hospital with Chidori.

TV Shopping! Megido + 4 Mind Supplement for 6,980yen. Have you been working on your Sun SL?

assuming you have unlocked any Personas for those (MAX Rank SLs sometimes unlock some for these). Unlike double and triple spreads, these require specific Personas

and will produce specific results. Check them the next time you hitthe Velvet Room.

You will automatically skip to the 21st.

September 21 - No school today. You can't work on Moon as well.

September 22 - No school either. Two more gone missing into Tartarus. After this, you are


38/165

September 23 - Another holiday. Saori will call you out today. Or you can go to the movies of the Film Festival with Shinjiro (Courage boost). If you want to go with Shinjiro, talk to Fuuka first, then to him.

You can't work on Moon tonight either. If you don't have a Yawn-B-Gone,either get one, or go to Tartarus tonight. You have more time to work on

Strength and Justice than in Moon. If you do, then you can wait untillater.
